XXSt. Ann’s Trunk or Treat
10-25-2025   2:00 pm - 5:00 pm
St. Ann Catholic Church, 450 E 2100 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84115, USA

Knowing your expertise and strong connection with the Knights of Columbus, I wanted to reach out with an invitation. St. Ann’s is hosting a Trunk or Treat for the local community on Saturday, October 25th, from 2:00–5:00 p.m. Our hope is to encourage families to attend Mass at the conclusion of the event, creating a natural bridge between community celebration and worship.

We are hoping to find sponsorship within the parish for a few opportunities:

  • Sponsoring a decorated car from the Knights. This would allow your group to participate directly in the Trunk or Treat, handing out candy to children from a Knights-sponsored car.

  • Donating a silent auction basket. Proceeds would go directly toward supporting students at KSA.

  • If being present is not possible, would you be open to using your network to help us find avenues to provide food or candy for the event?

I truly believe this would be mutually beneficial for both the school and the Knights. As you know, part of the mission of Catholic schools is to provide opportunities for family faith formation, including parents. This partnership could be a natural way to invite school parents into fellowship with the Knights of Columbus. (We are also working with the Women’s Guild to ensure mothers are offered similar opportunities.)

Thank you for considering this. I would be happy to discuss further details with you at your convenience.

With gratitude,
Megan
